Starting this week All About Fitness is moving to a
two-podcast-per-week model where one podcast will feature a full,
complete interview with an expert from a various fitness-related
field where the focus will be on what you can be doing to improve
your fitness level during the aging process, or how you can use
exercise to slow down the aging process. The second podcast will be
short and sweet where I will feature a brief review of a piece of
relevant research, discuss a new trend or talk about the benefits
of using a specific fitness product. The interview podcast will be
between 25-45 minutes long and the second podcast, a kind of verbal
blog, will be less than ten minutes.

Whenever I am first introduced to a new "expert" or authority in
a particular field I am always interested about his or her
background and why I should be investing my time listening to what
he or she has to say. On this first short format of All About
Fitness I provide a brief overview of my education and work
experience in the fitness industry. No, I don't have a seven-figure
following on social media, nor do I have six-pack abs or buns of
steel (although my glutes are pretty well developed - thanks to
kettlebell swings and deadlifts). But I have worked (and continue
to work) for the two largest personal training certifications: the
American Council on Exercise (ACE) and the National Academy of
Sports Medicine. Talking about yourself is always tough, you want
to provide some background about your legitimacy to be viewed as an
expert but you don't want to appear to be what comedian Dane Cook
refers to as 'too bragadocious.' (Not sure if that's a word, but
I'm going for it).
